Excerpt from the DNRE 2010 guidebook:
Shell Capacity for Shotguns and Centerfire Rifles
It is unlawful to hunt with a semi-automatic shotgun or semiautomatic
rifle that can hold more than six shells in the barrel and
magazine combined unless it is a .22 caliber rimfire. Fully automatic
firearms are illegal. All shotguns used for migratory game birds
(including woodcock) must be plugged so the total capacity of the
shotgun does not exceed three shells. (bold-my emphasis)
Notice this does not apply to pump or bolt action shotguns or rifles...except for birds. So you could legally use an old Henry lever with 15rnds.
I could find nothing limiting the capacity for any handgun.
